  • Security of Quebec vaccine passport app's QR codes questioned

    That is disconcerting. They are implementing a Vaccine Passport here in BC next month. I hope they use a more secure system. It's sad thought that there are people that will work hard to make themselves a fake VP, or buy one from someone, rather than just getting the shot for free. Reminds me of the people that spend a hundred dollars worth of time and hassle to build a system to save thirty dollars on their taxes. 
    I live in Quebec and what is sad is the implementation of a vaccine passport that will create two classes of citizens. Call it segregation, apartheid. This is 1938 Nazi Germany nothing less. BC and Ontario will follow. Canada is now known as Chinada. Shame.


    That's one of the dumbest comparisons I've ever run across. Sadly you're not the only one to make it. Read a book. Find out what TRUE oppression and victimization is. This is not Naziism or apartheid or segregation or China. You are just flat out wrong on that.
    What about people who can’t get the vaccine, for medical reasons? Are they just shit out of luck? 
    If you can't get the vaccine due to allergy or something else, it sounds like a super-bad idea to go to a concert or other big event -- even more so if you don't know whether the others are vaccinated. Or, what do you think should be the solution?
    People who can't get a vaccine (for COVID or anything else) shouldn't be locked up for the rest of their lives. Or are you saying this passport should only be used for a limited amount of time? I'm pro-vaccine, but there has to be respect and answers for those people who can't get it. And you aren't providing the answer; you are asking others to come up with an answer for you.

    The list of reasons that prevent an adequate vaccine response is well described. They are being offered a third dose.
    The list of reasons that medically prevent a first dose is non existent as mRNA vaccines have never been used before.
    The list of reasons that medically limit a second dose includes serious adverse effects such as myocarditis. Tough decision for those folks.
    The list of reasons that people just refuse vaccines includes fear, ignorance, anti-government rebellion, stubbornness, selfishness, childishness, .. but these are not medical reasons.

  • Proposed antitrust bills would ban Apple from preinstalling its own iOS apps

    teejay2012teejay2012
    Let buyers choose... Apple could sell an 'app free' iPhone with a blank screen , or one with installed apps - for the same price /s. I know which one I would buy LOL.

  • What the EU mandate for a common smartphone charger means

    teejay2012teejay2012
    I understand the logic to try and curb electronic waste but the EU should try to make a real impact by banning cheap 'disposable' phones that use Android OS and force manufactures to provide security and software updates to all phones -  like Apple does. According to Recon Analytics the average lifespan of Android phones is about 21 months compared to the average lifespan of an Apple device at just over four years. Given that Android has such a huge market share, that is a LOT of e-Waste.

  • Law firm that extracted $450M settlement in Apple e-books case is going after company for ...

    teejay2012teejay2012
    The $450 million settlement from Apple over e-book price fixing was enabled by the success of the United States of America v. Apple Inc. antitrust case in which the Court held that Apple Inc. conspired to raise the price of e-books. It was a controversial decision. I personally doubt that there will be a successful case here against Apple on the batteries but this is a strange world these days.

  • Apple Watch GPS functionality target of latest Uniloc patent lawsuit

    teejay2012teejay2012
    Nothing will change until patent laws change. It is hard to see how there can be damage to these entities that do not create an actual product ie. they are losing sales and money. Why is there is so much IP allocated into 'concepts without translation into actual products?  My guess is that hungry lawyers are at the root cause.
